Ireland is top of
the ranks for international work experience, The Global Talent report, by

Talent Report polled 200,000 people, who lived in 70 countries, to find which
country had the highest amount of international work experience. Ireland topped
the list with 91 per cent of its workforce holding experience working abroad.

motivation (87 per cent). This places Ireland above Canada and the UK. However,
the USA and Germany were ranked lower than Ireland.

on the technology sector, foreign workers were more than happy to migrate to
Ireland to join the workforce. The demographic of those willing to migrate to
Ireland were mostly of managerial roles, holding a degree and moving from a
large company, which employed 200 or more workers.
